OUR LOCAL POLITICS.

In view of the risks to the Democratic
party In the State elections, and the fact
that the fight Is to be made on the plan
Of campaign laid down by general con
vention, we have this to say TO the good
citizens Of Richmond.
1t Is of vital Importance to keep the
government Of the city In good hands,
and the people Of Richmond should not
allow their interests TO be hampered by
attaching the same to any non-cOnserya-
tive power that may prevail in that state
convention at Roanoke city We hope
that Richmond will put IN positive
opinion with good representatives at the
convention. but we also advise that the
people Of our city take wise counsel
among themselves no. to give away their
influence and risk their safety and pros
perity on any mere machine made plat
form of demagogues.
Intelligence, character, and business in
teresis should rule this city with fair
understanding between all classes Of the
Democracy as to the ways Of accom-
pllshing the greatest good for the greatest
number
This is Democracy, pure, simple, honest
and for home rule
There is an element in the community
disposed to ally local boycotiing with the
most unfortunate clique I'm the party that
goes for forcing people into the ideas Of
a ring.
The community Of Richmond is peace
ful and law-abiding There is no reason
for any disagreement between employers
and wage workers II is only the TO-
mentors of strife who promote it in their
own interest who can make any trouble.
Let US stand by solid principles, justice,
truth, honest government, and opposed
to the malarial influences infused into
the community by the agents Of plotters
that have no pretence Of wrong in this
place, but seek support in the persons
Of little disturbers Of the peace that know
naught but their own craze for notoriety
and undeseryed preferment.
In our local affairs let every good ciu-
zen De in his place, and the powerof con
servative sentiment will overwhelm every
Other force.
The TIMES is the representative of the
conservative interests of all classes, and
will always denounce communism as the
worst enemy of the progressive interests
